Contamination

Directed by

Transversal contamination of genetic material inspires director Carl Stevenson to cast a light on a shocking future. With a combined use of 2D and a 3D animation techniques, the film reproduces a surreal and disturbing atmosphere where the audience is left to discover new disquieting hybrid forms of life. Pigeon-headed cats, human-headed pigeons and winged human beings are samples of a sci-fi vision of the possible outcomes of a genetic experimentation led to the furthermost limit.
